25 years of Microsoft Solitaire: Popular video games from the '90s that we grew up playing

If you have been a Solitaire fan, you wouldn't have possibly forgotten how you would spend hours flipping those cards on your desktop screen? Released on May 18, 1990, Microsoft is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the game that was possibly one of the biggest productivity killers at its time.

Marking 25 years of the card game, we, today, bring you other immensely popular video games from the 1990s that many of us grew up playing.

Mario: The jump to the top of the flagpole at the end of each round would make every player curious.

Adventure Island: Wasn't it fun to control the movements of the boy walking through an island half-naked?

Bomberman: It required users to plant bombs to kill enemies.

Contra: Weren't those proud moments when you would successfully kill your enemies in the popular run and gun action game of those days.

Snow Bros: Defeating enemies by throwing snowballs at them was one bizarre way to deal with foes in the '90s.

Load Runner: Running through an area full of enemies, ladders and ropes was certainly not tiring. The only focus used to be on collecting all the treasure to go to the next level.

Tekken 3: Almost all of us had three to four favourite characters in this game. Wasn't it difficult to choose one from over 25 characters? From Paul's secret moves to King's custom combos to Nina's kicks, it was one of the gripping games of those days.

Road Fighter: All you had to do was to safely drive at full speed and outdo other racers.

Ice Climber: Popo and Nana would go up 32 ice-covered mountains to recover stolen vegetables from a giant condor.

Pacman: Remember how hard you would try to move pacman, eat the dots and avoid the ghosts?

GTA Vice City: As kids, it was almost impossible to get through the round without using cheat codes. Do you remember any of the cheat codes today?

Road Rash: It was fun riding a bike at the full speed while kicking and hitting rivals. This was because most of us couldn't do the same in real life.

Mustafa: Mustafa was another hero to the kids of those days.

Street Fighter: It was one of the first fighting competitive games that had martial art heroes.

Popeye: Popeye used to run hera and there to collect a certain number of items dropped by Olive Oyl, depending on the level.
